It's going to be very hard getting the win in Dallas. Getting the 4th win to close out a series is typically much harder than getting the first 3.

Having said that, what makes it hard to get the final win is that the other team usually brings a lot of heart and energy to the game when their backs are up against the wall. Given the lack of heart and leadership on this Mavs team, who knows which Mavs team will show up.

Even tonight, some of the Dallas players played very well for a quarter or two, but nobody played well and brought it all night. Howard tore it up the first half, and then disappeared in the second half. Dirk had a great first quarter, and then disappeared until the last minute when he made a couple of 3s. Stackhouse was good most of the second half, but choked down the stretch.

Compare that to the Ws - Baron and Richardson brought it every quarter. I really like the Ws chances of closing this out in Dallas if they can stay focused and bring the energy on the road again.

Unlike you, you were able to at least witness all of the Run TMC days + their last playoff stint with Webber. Unfortunately, when I began watching....they just traded for Rony Seikaly and then kept losing and losing and losing =)

I've been a Warriors fan since they traded Chris Webber. Can you imagine how that's like....
